Re: 2 vs 4 post lifts

[Mike Lee <mikel@ichips.intel.com>]

(Disclaimer: I own neither, but have looked into/used both)
The 2 post lift:
  requires a thicker concrete pad
  needs greater overhead clearance (for the crossbar)
  requires greater undercar clearance (for the lift pads)
  may not be able to open doors depending on post location
  distinctly possible to have car fall off lift if not balanced correctly
The 4 post lift:
  requires additional jacks for wheel/suspension work.

I'm personally getting a 4post lift once we get our garage rafters modified.
